WELCOME TO THE GULF COAST
BRANCH PAGE
The goal of our branch is to raise awareness, expand member knowledge, and promote green building principles and practices along the Gulf Coast of Alabama. We would love to hear from you, meet you at one of our meetings, and have you help us promote green building on the Gulf Coast.
If you would like to be added to our email list for notifications of local green building events, please contact Debbie Coleman, Communications.
Please join us for our next green building event!
Below is a summary of upcoming events organized by the Gulf Coast Branch of AL USGBC and some recommended green building events organized by other organizations. Many of these are save-the-dates notices with later info to follow.
"Summer School" is in Session with USGBC!
Summer is here, but school is not out for the Gulf Coast Branch of the USGBC! Instead of our regularly scheduled "lunch and learns," we are offering a variety of fun and educational events in July and August. Join us to prepare for the LEED exams, plan to Green Existing Schools, or to just hang out with like minded folks and have fun!
USGBC Alabama Gulf Coast Branch Summer Schedule:
LEED Green Associate Study Group (Free and ongoing)

Use Your LEED CE Credits!
If you are already a LEED AP, it is time to start storing up CE credits to maintain your credential. Did you know that "grandfathered" LEED AP's can earn a specialty through continuing education? You don't have to take another test! http://www.usgbc.org/DisplayPage.aspx?CMSPageID=2209 Both the committee meetings and our August seminar qualify for LEEDCE's. You can't afford NOT to join us!
